Arranged in a grid, these twenty photographs shot on board a bus depict a young woman seated in the row of seats in front of the photographer. With her hair in a ponytail and wearing a sleeveless white blouse she looks out through the window at the sunlit streets of Berlin. Summer is in the air.
Björnsson’s title sets the stage for a romantic urban moment even more than the location where this series was made. Someone is smitten with the beauty of a girl on the bus and allows himself to watch her from behind without her noticing. The systematic capture and display of these images make you wonder about the authenticity of the moment in the bus.
